We are offered the following beautiful
words on the occasion of the decease of
MISS lua COlUu'H, Ohi io6itu IIIc
and character will ever be remembered by
the MANY friends: A few years ago two
little girls came to our house with flow
ers, their faces two fair loving flowers, one
fresh and blooming like the red rose, the
other like the white wood violet, pure
and sweet. 70 day | looked upon nv
flower-girl of the violet face. In the
early dawn of her wOmanhood, peace
full and silent, gone beyond that bound
of life where we lay our burdens down."
Peaceful and calm, with only her wasted
form to tell how heavy had been her
burden of life. If in our sorrow we
could only feel the infinite tenderness
of Him who giveth His beloved Sleep"
after such pain and suffering, we should
say with Joy passed from death into life.''
One more voice is hushed in the earthly
home. but like the perfume of the flower,
the pleasant memory of her loving life
will remain to cheer her lonely mother
and sorrowing sisters. We as friends
would pay this tribute of respect to one
who has lived among us, dutiful daugh-
ter, a faithful teacher, and helpful
friend. We belive that death, for Ter
was joyful release and that
AS in the dark we fall asleep.
And in the fair bright morning wake,
So on the dark of deaths reposc
Heavens golden light shall break.
The sor'wing shall be completed,
The weary shall find rest,
And we shall know as we are known,
And see that all was best.
